Calling from the registered phone number and verifying address is all you need to get OnStar to unlock your car (I am not sure if its still the case now, but it was the case two years ago).

Same thing for username and password. That's all you need to log into their app. Not sure about failed attempts, but there are no other authentication methods.

OnStar by GM has many of these features (app, location, unlock, customer service representative can unlock etc.). I don't think there is a recorded hijack/hack there too.

I remember working for The Jerusalem Post - every time we were featured on Drudge Report we got a huge traffic spike.

It was so much that we actually had one/two day campaigns ready to launch when we were featured..

Saw it too late. Awesome!!

You cannot afford to worry about patents now. Just avoid them altogether.

Also, just don't look anything up, or send emails to your co-founder / or anyone else specifying any patents. Because if you will get sued, you will have to disclose those emails in discovery. And violating a patent knowingly is a whole different story than violating it unknowingly.

By default, these messages will not go to their inbox. It will go to the "other" box (aka spam :) so unless the user will go in and check it manually they will never see it (no notifications etc.)

Awesome!! Feature suggestion: keyword search on top of it. e.g. I can search "call" to get all the domains that has "call" in them in order of pronounceability.
